A T0UR AND IT'S TEACHING.

Governor Gordon has returned to Georgia
His campaign in Ohio was brief and not re-
markably brilliant. He came, fresh from eu-
logizing JEFF Davis at Macon, to instruct the
people of Ohio in the duties Of citizenship
and to give ex-confederate reasons why they
should elect Democratic Governor. They
heard what he had to say and they also had
their say. Governor Gordon was permitted
to deliver his message and the Republican
papers Of Ohio delivered theirs. We think
the latter had the best of it, and, judging
from Governor Gordon's rather abrupt depart
ure, we suspect he thought so too. Living in
State where only one political party is al
lowed to exist, where there are no Republican
papers and where the Democratic press has
neither ability nor independence, Governor
things he found in Ohio. He found there an
organized Republican party, in fighting trim,
with its war-paint on, and Republican press
loaded to the muzzle with facts and figures
and liable to go off on the slightest provoca-
ton. 1t commenced going off about the same
time he did, and the result was a political
fusillade the like of which he never saw or
heard before. The way the Republican papers
riddled his record and turned him and his an
tecedents inside out was caution, and must
have given Governor Gordon a more distinct
idea of free and untrammeled press than he
ever had before. Him and his rebel record,
his Ku-klux record, his ridiculous defense of
slavery, his eulogy of jeff Davis, etc., they
handled without gloves. Governor Gordon
probably forgot that Ohio was filed with Re-
publican papers, and that they had fashion
of hurting out the truth and calling things
by their right names even though it might
hurt somebody. In this case they did it in
pretty vigorous fashion. They fairly ran the
Georgia gentlemen out of the State. He
went shearing and came back shorn. He re-
rurns to Georgia sadder, but wiser man; for,
though he failed to capture Ohio, he has en-
joyed the inestimable privilege of seeing the
Republican party in action. And that, for
Southern Democrat, is liberal education in
itself

CLEVELAND AND BooDIERs.

In the New York city canvass, the domi-
nant issue is the choice of district attorney,
for which Office the boodlers have secured the
nomination of Col John r. Fellows, one of
the Oldest and '1nachinest" of the gang,
while the people have named Mr.. Delaney
Nicoll, whose efforts secured the conviction

Arrayed on the side of Nicoll are the New
York Times, the Evening Post, and Harpers
Weekly. the conspicuous advocates of Grover
Cleveland, who affect to see in him the only
great and virtuous public man Of the present
day. Regarding the contest over the attor-
neyship, the Times says:
zone phase of the contest over the district
attorneyship should commend itself to the
thoughtful attention of those Democrats who
find it hard to scratch regular candidate of
the party. There is not the least doubt that
not only the unconvicted boodlers' but the
criminals and violators of the law generally

elected. It is as clear as daylight,
on the other hand. that the election of Mr.

nomination, would work out to completion

choice is so plain that no right-minded citizen
who has any regard for the welfare and good
name of the city ought to hesitate for mo-
ment in his choice" ~
There is no question but the Times tells the
extract truth. But the Star, the authorized
organ of Mr.. Cleveland, prints in half dozen
places on its editorial page, this paragraph:
''The Star is authorized to say that the
President of the United States is in favor of
the election of Colonel Fellows and the whole
Democratic ticket"
In view of this, and in view of the undoubt-
ed fact that Mr.. Cleveland gave to Boss
German the control of the Maryland patron
age, which enabled him to have his own sweet
will in the Baltimore election, we should like
to have the Times, and the Post, and Harper's
Weekly give honest opinion upon Mr..
Cleveland as a reformer, If it be possible for

THE CALIFORNIA RUSH.

of bringing stream Of mechanics and labor
ers to southern California who have expended
their last dollars in railroad fare and who
finding the labor market overstocked, are
forced to work for anything they can get and
often hunt in vain for employment Even if
work were plenty and the wages high as
advertised. the cost of living is so great that
no material advantage is to be gained by

East Rents in Los Angeles are enormously
to $50 month. Coal is $40 ton, butter 40
cents, eggs 40 cents, and other things in pro-

paid averages so cents a day more than East

there is much disappointment and distress.

our glorious climate a rather thin diet to

in, however, and the union appeals to the
